December Film Club: La La Land (2016)

This week, we’re discussing Damien Chazelle’s La La Land, a modern musical about love, ambition, and the sacrifices we make in pursuit of our dreams. Starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, the film explores the complicated relationship between personal aspirations and romantic fulfilment, all against the colourful backdrop of Los Angeles. Whether you consider La La Land a modern masterpiece or think it’s a little overrated, we’d love to hear your perspective! Please watch the film beforehand, as we’ll be diving into spoilers. No film expertise required — just bring your opinions, an open mind, and a willingness to discuss cinema! 🍿

TFS Presents an Alfred Hitchcock Double Feature!

Join us to enjoy two essential Alfred Hitchcock films that showcase two very different aspects of the legendary director's genius. *Notorious* (1946) brings together espionage, romance, and psychological suspense, while *To Catch a Thief* (1955) trades danger and uncertainty for the glamour of the French Riviera, witty comedy, and romantic mystery. Both films feature Cary Grant, while Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman each bring unforgettable performances to Hitchcock’s distinctive world of romance and suspense. Together, they demonstrate Hitchcock’s incredible ability to transform love stories into thrilling cinematic experiences, making this a perfect double feature for anyone looking to experience the style, elegance, and suspense of classic Hollywood on the big screen!

Responsive Installations: Using Sensors to Control the Visuals

James is running a workshop with Creative Code Toronto and InterAccess! **NOTE: You need to register with InterAccess for this event! [https://www.tickettailor.com/events/interaccess/2459719](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/interaccess/2459719)** More info at InterAccess: [https://www.interaccess.org/events/responsive-installations-using-sensors-to-control-the-visuals](https://www.interaccess.org/events/responsive-installations-using-sensors-to-control-the-visuals) Public installations come alive when they react to the people around them. In this three-hour workshop, you'll learn how to use sensors that detect motion, distance, touch and more to drive real-time animations. This session bridges code and the physical world. Using a Raspberry Pi and p5.js, we'll wire up sensors, read their signals, and map them to visual parameters such as colour, motion and scale. By the end, you'll have a working responsive prototype, the practical skills to build work that responds to its audience, and a clear path to scaling it into a full installation. **What you'll learn** * Wiring sensors to a Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins * Sending sensor readings from the Pi into a p5.js sketch * Mapping user interactions to animation and visuals * Tips for making installations reliable in public spaces **Target Audience** Artists and creative technologists who want to create interactive installations for public spaces, such as art festivals, or experience-based activations for brands. This workshop is designed for beginners with some coding experience. No electronics experience is needed. **Capacity** Space is limited to 10 workstations. Participants are welcome to work in pairs. **NOTE: You need to register with InterAccess for this event!
